Kansas has suffered severely this
year from the drouth. The wheat
crop is reported at only 8,0OO,OO
bushels against 4S, 900, 900 in 1884, and
the corn at less than 100, 900 900 BUSH
els compared with I94, 900, 900 in 1884.
The yield of oats is shout an average,
but the fruit crop is only about 30 per
cent. of the average. Of course the
railways suffer greatly from this short
age, as there will be comparatively
little if any corn and wheat for export
from the States, and yet as usual in
such cases the railways are called
upon to help the people in their emer-
gency and are promptly responding.
They have already made a two-thirds
rate on corn in points in Kansas, thus
assisting in its distribution from places
in the state where there is surplus
to others where scarcity prevails. In
this way the farmers and people OF
Kansas will receive the equivalent of
many thousands of dollars from the
railways, and it is to be hoped that
they will not entirely forget the favor
when prosperity again returns to them.

Democratic Chance. i'm Ohio.

h-Congressman Hill, of Ohio, left
Washington last night to take the
stump for the Democratic ticket in his
State. In group of his political
friends last night the prospect Of Demo
cratic success in Ohio this fall was be-
ing discussed. az don't regard our
chances as 80 dubious by any means, I"
said Mr.. Hill. "In 1872 Grant carried
Ohio by about 80, 900. In the year follow
ing our party was badly demoralized.
Shortly before the election, John
Thompson called a conference of the
State committee and other leading
Democrats. In that conference. with
the proverbial wisdom of owls, it was
decided that there was no hope of car
rying the State for the Democrats.
But in spite of that and all other draw
backs, we elected old Bill Allen Gov
ernor. Our party is now in much bet
ter shape for fight than we were in
1873. We are all organized, and have
splendid ticket and popular ticket,
and we intend to fight for every inch
OF ground. Our people are in earnest
and we don't give up the battle, not
by long shot"
The conversation then turned upon
the alleged snubbing of Governor For
aker at Philadelphia by Mrs. Cleve-
land. Mr.. Hill remarked that ac-
cording to the published reports
Governor Foraker, before starting
to the reception, admonished his
wife that both he and she were
likely to be snubbed, and, continued
Mr.. Hill, "a man who will deliberately
carry his wife to a public reception to
be snubbed, in order that he may try
to make political capital of it, is not
likely to get much sympathy from the
public"
Another Ohio Democrat sitting by
said: "We'll take this view of it,
the fight is between Governor For
aker and a beautiful woman. Now,
who will win in such contest before
the American people? Why, the
beautiful woman every time. ."-[New

WITHOUT IRRIGATION

Its advantages as a manufacturing
site are drawing to it many of the
chief industries of the State. And il
is the natural and inevitable terminus
of all transcontinental railroads enter
ing the State. Finally, though rising in
value, land is still cheap compared
with locations of much less merit, and
thus for homes or investment presents
splendid opportunities.

A WICHITA PkNMAN.

| Gaskell's II ustrated Magazine of las.
mouth contains a very fat5ering rotice of E.
N. Barber, Of the Southwestern Business
| College, from which we extract the fol-
lowing:
e. ID. Barber il only hoy in years, but
| by uprelenting fort has lifted himself into
| the penman's chair at the South Western
| Business College, Wichita, Kan This is a
paying and responsible position for youth
Of 10, tut Barber is giving good satisfaction
and winning laurels that would look we'll on
many older heads. He was born in the wilds
of central Michigan, where the scent Of saw
logs and apple blossoms who swept over bis
fair young b. ad until his nature seemed to
absorb these essences If strength and beauty.
In 1880 he moved to New York, where he de-
vot. d ia o years to hard study under the best
of instruct Oh He says his first love for
penmanshlp was inspired by stray copy OF
the P-nman's Gazette. He tried mercantile
pu' suits in Graud Rapids, Mich, after hi
return from New York, but he says he
couldn't curb that aching desire for curves
and shades SO he went to Chicago. where he
met Palmer, who settled his destiny by his
earnest a. gument for muscular movement and
more teachers Of the same He then return
ed Michigan where he taught few classes
and managed to hoard up enough bonus" to
enable him to see and be taught by the in
imitable Isascs. He says to lsaac's fatherly
devotion he owes his present success. In his
teaching he never permits pup, to take up
the reg ular class work until he has developed
light and easy movement. After this ia
secured he gives sllopathic doses OF form and
movement mixed up in equal parts, and II
boy is stubborn, shakes well before using.
Barber is dor a good work at the "Soutn-
western" and We predict for him glitter
ing career in his CHOSEN field.

A 6R W. CHA hGR.

Constable Rufus Zone was night before
last given q wsrrant sworn out by Messrs.
Little & Kimball for the arrest OF one L D.
Boyer, living northwest of the city. Yester-
day morning the officer returned with his
prisoner and a preliminary hs airing was given
In Justice Walls er's court. The charge to
which he is to answer IL forgery and obtain.
ing money under false pretense. The cir
cumstances Of the case appear to be that
Boyer had given a mortgage for $500 upon q
piece of land which belonged to his minor
son, l.. n. Boyer, claiming, it Ia
said, that the land belonged to him and
signing the name Of his son. L. h. Boyer, to
the mortgage. These two facts both appear
against HIM; but whether the offense was
not committed as much through ignorance
as with criminal intent, Is Yet to be CO.
t@mined.
At the preliminary bearing he was bound
over to the district court In the sum Of 500,
and sent 10 the jail His friends are making
, strong effort to secure the necessary bail,
and it is thought that he will soon be re-
leased from confinement

WICHITA UNIVERSITY OPENING.

opening. Rev. D. B. Shuey, Of Emporia
| President Weber and others delivered ad.
dresses, setting :orth the history and pur-
poses of the school About orty pupils have
been enrolled for the varions departments
This was regarded as encouraging, consider
ing the lateness Of the opening, and the I'M
certainty Of obtaining a suitable building in
which to open. On account OF this uncer-
tainty but little advertising uld be done,
and no definite promises could be given to
the inquiries made by pupils and others.
Tired Of waiting some who had promised
to attend this school started in weeks
ago at other institutions. Mechanics are
now at work pushing the university building
as rapidly as possible, and it is hoped that is
can be finished by the opening Of the new
year Under all the circumstances, there
fore, the trustees decided that il would be
better TO defer the oper ing OF the literary
and tcentific depar,msnts, but author ned
the teachers N music and art to 20 on with
thei classes. Prof. Bushong will also start
his cias es in German a. some private room
PRESIDENT Wheeler will employ bis time visit

Last night at O'Clock J. c. Snyder, nigh

near by, and they could de-
nothing. In the meantime the flames had
gotten terrible Roadway and were sweeping
everything before them.
| Two car loads of cattle and two herset
were in The yards and were said to have beer
Consumed.
| Mr.. Snyder, when spoken to last night re-
garding the fire, said that he had
\ just had bis lunch and went out
| to inspect the ards when he saw q fire on
the east side; he rushed towards it with the
| intention il possible Of extinRui-hing it:
when to his horror he saw another FIR
about one hundred feet away. He gave the
alarm by cries and dischArgiog his
pistol. In his forts to put
out the flames, he fell and sprained his
leg and seriously ii jured his hand.
At 2:30 the flames were still raging
and there is no hope that the buildings, nor
any part Of them, can be saved.
Mr.. Snyder seems to think there is no
doubt but that the fire was caused by in
cendiaries, ard from the rapidity with
which it spread he is Of the opinion that
oil was poured upon the boards to facilitate
the start. He can not remember of seeing
anyone near the shed, although he says they
might have been and gotten away
without him seeing them, as there
was some distance between him and the
starting place of the fire.
1t would be difficult to estimate the loss;
Mr.. Embry a few days ago said that the
sheds with the hotel had cost $150,0O0 Be
sides the fifty-si1 head Of cattle and the two
head OF horses, there was in the
shed a large quantity Of baled hay, all Of
which was consumed. The cattle were the
frst shipment made to the yards and were
consigned to MIR. Voorhees, The property ia
said to be insured.

that he had taken . skip. The attorney was
